Executive order...Fishbowl #2 moved to Tuesday. Let's focus on the essay instead. Sometimes we need to sloooooow down.
WRITING INSTRUCTION
- EQ: Do you know how to integrate a quote into your writing? Click here to quiz yourself.
- How about using quotes in general? Click here to test these skills.
- Go over rules of quoting. (Write these notes under Journal 24.)
- See the board for rules 9&10 (Bedford pages 598-600).
- 9a. Elipses (...) Cannot start or end a quote. Use context instead.
- 9b. Brackets [ ] Can be used to add information to a quote. For example:
- to mark a typo within the quote as [sic].
- The man said, "he [Edward Biles] broke in through the window."
- 10. If you want to quote something longer than 2 sentences or lines of poetry, use a block format. Block is different from regular quoting in that it...
- has no quotation marks
- is double spaced and completely indented
- and the citation comes after the final punctuation.
- See the example below:
Look over your Journal 23 and perfect your quoting. Then trade with someone nearby and highlight each different part of their TIED paragraph.
